Exhibition Statement
PAUSE grew from a pause in my own practice — a decision to stop, question familiar habits and look again at why and how I paint. That same act of looking runs through these works. Familiar landscapes are interrupted by light, weather, memory or human presence, creating moments when something known shifts and asks to be seen again. PAUSE is less about stillness than the value of stopping long enough to notice change — and perhaps to recognise what was already there.
Nick Hannaford is currently a finalist in the 2026 Heysen Prize for Landscape, with the prize winner still to be announced.
About the Artist
Nick Hannaford is a South Australian artist raised on Kangaroo Island, where landscape has remained a constant influence on his work. He began painting as a child, with early tuition from Ruth Tuck and his uncle Robert Hannaford, who continues to be an important mentor. Hannaford has painted and exhibited throughout his life, including SALA and commissions for Southern Ocean Lodge. PAUSE reflects a current period of re-examination in his practice — looking again at familiar places, habits and ways of seeing.
